Embrace Me~


Lost in Autumn spell,
Incantation me
With your foggy mist
About face & lips.
Conceal...
Then reveal...
Mysterious eyes, showy trees,
Familiar crunch beneath feet,
reminders of a past
put to sleep.

A season to Startle..
Chilly rain and wind
Awakens love-speak,
In this hour
Of orange glow &
Scarecrow wink,
A Fall afghan
Cloaks crimson thoughts upon
Riled skin,
Autumn is oh..so
Amorous.

Beautiful burn of Fall
Come to singe hills &
Fingertips,
Captures all in bowing sun,
Sweet copper song,
Enamored,
In this shed of day.

You know that I started humming that Gershwin song. . .

Excellent work here. . . I like it.

A very sexy picture of Autumn. Maybe that's just how my brain works.   Still in the 80's and 90's in Alabama. Yuck.

This is beautiful. Someone really must paint your poetry.

Spring has been my favorite season for a long time, but your gorgeous, brilliantly-wrought words are making me fall in love with autumn all over again (my least favorite part of it is that dreaded winter follows).

You, dear lady, are one tremendous poet.

A quite alluring journey, Sky~.  of all the depictions here, I will admit a partiality to the mists.  A singular voice can sound as if it comes from all directions there.  What you see one second can be completely different the next.  I love a good mystery.


"As to the night the bright lights fade,
While Darkness doth persist.
I lay my lantern to the glade,
And breath deeply, the mist."
